Agenda • Overview • Security Breaches • Fraud and Identity Theft • Chief Security Officer • Phishing • Emerging Technologies • Best Practices
IT Security Defined Information security is the process of protecting information systems and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, destruction, modification, or disruption. Information security is concerned with the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data regardless of the form the data may take: electronic, print, or other forms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_security, viewed April 2nd, 2007
Management Does! Security and privacy rose from 19th in 1990 to 2nd in 2005 as a top management concern. Luftman, J., Kempaiah, R., and Nash, E., Key Issues for IT Executives 2005, MIS Quarterly Executive, Vol. 5, No. 2, June 2006, pp 81-99
CIA Triangle • Three core concepts form the core principles of information security. • Confidentiality: • Information of confidential nature. • Integrity: • Data cannot be changed, deleted, or altered without authorization. • Availability: • All information and computer systems used in the protection of information are available and functioning properly.

Why should general managers care about IT security breaches?
Cost of Cyber Security Breach • Tangible • Lost business • Lost productivity of non IT staffs • Labor and material costs associated with the IT staff’s detection, containment, repair and reconstitution of the breached resources • Legal costs associated with the collection of forensic evidence and the prosecution of an attacker • Public relations consulting costs, to prepare statements for the press, and answer customer questions • Increases in insurance premiums What Does a Computer Breach Really Cost? Anita D. D’Amico, Ph.D. Secure Decisions, a Division of Applied Visions, Inc., September 7, 2000
Cost of Cyber Security Breach • Intangible • Customers’ loss of trust in the organization • Failure to win new accounts due to bad press associated with the breach • Competitor’s access to confidential or proprietary information What Does a Computer Breach Really Cost?

Amount Lost from Security Breach by Type Gordon, Lawrence, Martin Loeb, William Lucyshn, and Robert Richardson. “Computer Crime and Security Survey”. Computer Security Institute. 2006. PP 1-25.
Outsourcing Computer Security Gordon, Lawrence, Martin Loeb, William Lucyshn, and Robert Richardson. “Computer Crime and Security Survey”. Computer Security Institute. 2006. PP 1-25.
Outsourcing Computer Security • Most of the respondents did not outsource the IT security • IT security is one of the core capabilities and therefore should be kept in house. Source: Lacity, M., “Twenty Customer and Supplier Lessons on IT Sourcing,” Cutter Consortium, Vol. 5, 12, 2004, pp.1-27
